Reviews & Testimonials For Philippa Dakin

Philippa was knowledgeable and professional. It was vital to learn the psychology behind the behaviour of my puppy to understand his needs. I am grateful to have signed up to Bark Busters. However, following the continual information I was given regarding the importance of being and maintaining positivity around my puppy, I was surprised the water bottle and pillow were introduced. I remain hesitant in my use of these. I responded 'no' to the question below because of my hesitation, but if there was a 'maybe' I would have chosen that option instead. Perhaps my mind will change in time, this is my first dog after all and he is still very young. This comment is in no way is a reflection of Philippa's expertise and efforts. She was great, so positive and helpful! I particularly liked the way she had me recap what I was doing and saying and then unpack why. Fantastic teaching!

Fantastic trainer explains her experience and passion for what Philipa does very easily , the kids and I learnt so much

Pinot was a star. Phillipa did an epic job showing us the correct way at giving Pinot boundaries.

Was very happy with the first training session. It took Bear awhile to respond to the training but with Phillipas help we got there in the end. He was very responsive.

Fantastic service. Philippa was helpful and insightful giving all our family members the tools they need to help with our dogs behaviour. We could see our dog responding to the techniques straight away.

Very good first training, it was great to see that Misty (10 yo dog) responded to the training.

Luna responded really well to the training provided for us by Pippa. Pippa was friendly, professional, clear, firm in her delivery and instruction of techniques to be used and practiced.

Very pleased to see immediate results during our initial Training session, and ongoing improvement in the 3 days since. Written information and training aids provided have been very helpful. Our Trainer was professional, friendly and willing to explain strategies to help my children also understand so that training is consistent for our 9 month old spoodle puppy, Toby. Wishing we had contacted Bark Busters sooner!!

We were very much looking forward to being trained by Philippa and were not disappointed. She was thorough and clear and not at all judgemental. Brie took to the training very well and is already more responsive and relaxed now she doesn't have to 'work above her pay-grade'. While we are thrilled with the improvement so far, we realise that there is more work to do. We are committed to honing our training skills and setting aside some dedicated training time each day. We know a small effort on our part will translate to and even more relaxed and happier little dog. Thank you Philippa and Bark Busters. We couldn't have got this far without the training you provided.

Philippa was so refreshing I feel like we have good direction she was able to fill in the missing gaps and give us the confidence in taking control

Excellent trainer, kind, professional addressed the issues

Phillippa explained everything very clearly and we love the way issues are dealt with from the dogs point of view. Hester and I enjoyed the training. We've had noticibale results in expecially door behaviour and staying off the coach in the first lesson and look forward to continue with Philippa.
